Note to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1995. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Consolidated net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995
increased 7% over the same period last year despite a 3% decrease in unit
volume. For the nine months to-date, consolidated net sales increased 16%
on a 3% increase in unit volume. (The term "unit volume" when used in the
context of these comments refers to the shipments of precured tread rubber
only, the Company's major manufactured product used in retreading tires.)
The combined impact of higher selling prices, higher translated value of
the Company's foreign currency denominated sales, and higher retread
equipment sales accounts for the percentage increase in net sales being
higher than the unit volume comparisons for both the quarter and nine
months.
Consolidated gross margin for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995
was 3 percentage points lower than the same period last year, but showed a
0.7 percentage point improvement over the second quarter of 1995, due
primarily to improved third quarter margins in the Company's foreign
operations. Consolidated gross margin for the nine months to-date was 2
percentage points lower than the same period last year. The lower
consolidated gross margin for the nine months to-date was due to lower
gross margin in the Company's domestic operations, which is explained in
the geographic area comments below.
Consolidated operating expenses for both the quarter and nine months were
14% higher than the same periods last year. As a percentage of sales,
third quarter operating expenses were 1.3 points higher than the same
period last year, but 0.5 points lower for the nine months to-date. The
dollar increase in operating expenses for both the quarter and nine months
to-date was primarily due to higher spending on marketing related
programs, professional expenses, and the unfavorable impact of currency
rates on foreign currency denominated expenses.
The Company's consolidated net earnings for the quarter were 8% lower than
the same period last year because of the lower gross margin and higher
operating expenses. For the nine months to-date, net earnings were 8%
higher than the same period last year due to the higher sales, with some
offset coming from the lower gross margin and higher operating expenses.
Consolidated net earnings per share for the quarter were 4% lower and for
the nine months were 13% higher than the same periods last year. The net
earnings per share comparisons to last year were better than the net
earnings for both the quarter and nine months due to the impact of fewer
average shares outstanding in 1995 because of the Company's ongoing share
repurchase program.
Domestic Operations
Sales for the Company's domestic operations for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1995, which include export shipments to various foreign
countries, were 4% higher than the same period last year, on a 4% decrease
in unit volume. Sales and unit volume for the nine months were 13% and 2%
higher, respectively, than the same period last year. The sales increases
for both the quarter and nine months to-date were higher than the unit
volume increases due to the combination of higher retread material selling
prices and higher equipment sales.
Gross margin for the third quarter was 4.8 percentage points lower than
last year's exceptionally strong quarter. Gross margin in the quarter was
impacted by lower unit volume, higher raw material costs, and a lower
margin on equipment sales than a year ago. For the nine months, gross
margin was 3.5 percentage points lower than the same period last year,
primarily due to higher raw material costs. Raw material average weighted
costs for the nine months to-date have increased approximately 24% during
1995 from last year's year-end average weighted cost. Other than a
selling price increase made early in the first quarter, the Company chose
not to further increase selling prices to its dealers because of
competitive conditions in the industry and forecasts calling for raw
material costs to decline later in the year.
Operating expenses for the third quarter and nine months to-date increased
13% and 15%, respectively, over the same periods last year. Spending for
the third quarter, as a percentage of sales, was about two points higher
than last year, but was basically even with last year for the nine months.
The increase in spending was primarily for marketing programs,
professional related expenses, and R&D projects.
Earnings before taxes decreased 14% and 3% for the quarter and nine
months, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.
Western European Operations
Sales for the Company's Western European operations increased 18% over the
same period last year on a 4% decrease in unit volume. Sales and unit
volume for the nine months were 23% and 7% higher, respectively, than last
year. The increase in sales was greater than the unit volume for both the
quarter and nine months primarily due to favorable translation rates and
higher selling prices.
Gross margin for the third quarter was 2.8 percentage points higher than
the third quarter last year and 2.3 percentage points higher for the nine
months to-date. The improved margins reflect higher selling prices
relative to increased raw material costs and improved manufacturing
efficiencies from higher production volume.
Western Europe's operating expenses increased 17% and 19%, respectively,
for the third quarter and nine months over the last year, primarily due to
unfavorable translation rates.
As a result of the above factors, earnings before income taxes for the
Company's Western European operations' third quarter and nine months
to-date increased 67% and 133%, respectively, as compared to last year's
rather weak results.
Other Foreign Operations
Sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995 for the combined
other foreign geographic areas increased 11% over the same period last
year despite flat unit volume, while sales and unit volume for the nine
months increased 20% and 7%, respectively, over the same period last year.
Weak economic conditions in Mexico continue to impact the Company's
Mexican operation, resulting in sales and unit volume well below last year
for both the quarter and nine months to-date. Excluding the Mexican
operation, sales and unit volume increased 15% and 2%, respectively, for
the quarter and 25% and 10%, respectively, for the nine months. Sales for
these operations were higher than their respective volume increases due
primarily to higher selling prices, with higher translation rates
accounting for approximately 1% of the total sales increase.
The combined gross margin for the third quarter for the Company's other
foreign operations was two percentage points lower than the same period
last year, but one percentage point higher than last year for the nine
months. The lower gross margin in the quarter was due primarily to higher
raw material costs not being fully passed on to our dealers through higher
selling prices.
Combined operating expenses for the third quarter for the Company's other
foreign operations were 8% higher than the same period last year, but 4%
lower for the nine months to-date. The increase in operating expenses for
the quarter was due to higher-than-usual expenditures, in general. Lower
spending for the nine months for the Mexican operation basically offset
the higher spending for the other combined operations.
Earnings before income taxes for the third quarter and nine months to-date
were 8% and 55% higher, respectively, than the same periods last year.
The strong results for the nine months, compared to last year, were due
primarily to the strong results recorded by the Brazilian operation.
Financial Condition:
Operating Activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was $10.5 million higher than the amount for the same
period last year as a result of a $5.1 million increase in earnings and a
$5.3 million favorable net change in operating assets and liabilities
(higher receivables and inventory, partially offset by increased current
liabilities).
Investing Activities.
The Company's capital expenditures totaled $5.6 million for the third
quarter ended September 30, 1995, bringing the year-to-date total to $18.7
million. This compares to $7.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively,
for the same periods last year.
The Company's investments decreased $20.1 million from last year with the
funds being used primarily to finance dividends paid and the purchases of
the Company's Common Stock. The Company's excess funds are invested over
various terms, but only instruments with an original maturity date of over
90 days are classified as investments.
Financing Activities.
Cash dividends totaled $4.9 million and $15.2 million for the quarter and
nine months, respectively. The Company purchased 1,099,568 shares of its
outstanding Common and Class A Common stock, at prevailing market prices,
for $61.1 million during the third quarter, bringing the total purchased
for the nine months to 1,696,968 shares at a cost of $95.1 million. Both
cash dividends and stock purchases are funded from operational cash flows.
The short-term borrowing during the quarter and nine months was primarily
by the Company's Western European operation to fund its current cash flow
needs.
The Company continues to have $132 million available under unused lines of
credit, and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
